Cooking method

Pea puree

  1. Bring a pot of water to the boil.  Add frozen peas to the water, reduce to a simmer for a few minutes and then drain, preserving a little of the blanching liquid.  Puree the peas in a blender, adding a little of the blanching water to loosen.  Season with salt and pepper.

Prawn tortellini

  1. Lay out pasta rounds on the bench and brush edges with a little egg wash.
  2. In a bowl mix all other ingredients together and place approximately 1 teaspoon of the filling into the centre of each pasta round.
  3. Fold rounds in half and join together to form a ring shape. Cook in salted simmering water for 8 minutes. Drain and keep warm until ready to plate.

Salmon

  1. Pre-heat oven to 180ºC.
  2. Season salmon lightly and wrap with prosciutto, sear in a hot pan for a minute either side, then finish cooking in the oven on a lined baking tray.
  3. On a serving plate place a spoonful of pea puree in the centre of plate and top with salmon. Place a prawn tortellini next to the salmon and garnish with micro leaves and balsamic reduction.
